ABSTRACT

There is provided a system having a bearing cooling capabilities, that
includes a shaft, a vertical electrical motor that is configured to rotate the
shaft, a housing including a first housing portion that surrounds the motor
bearing, a motor bearing that includes a stationary outer ring and a rotating
inner ring that is mechanically coupled to the shaft, an external heat
dissipation element that is positioned outside the first housing portion, and
heat pipes that are positioned between the stationary outer ring and the
external heat dissipation element, wherein each heat pipe comprises an
evaporator portion that is thermally coupled to the stationary outer ring and
a condenser portion that is thermally coupled to the external heat dissipation
element.
